As you may know on any 5th Monday over at Let’s Get Sketchy we do away with our sketches and try to give you another fun challenge. This time is no different, Our challenge this week is called "Not So Picture Perfect" What we would like you to do is create a layout using a picture that you never thought you would use because its blurred, too dark, head half cut off, red eye....etc. You know the ones I am referring to.

Here is my “Notso Picture Perfect” Layout I used a picture of myself that my three year old
daughter took all by herself.

I used a kit
from Paper Issues that was mainly made of Echo Parks ~Everyday Electric
Collection.

Well today I’m going to share one of the projects that I
submitted for my design team application to Imaginisce, sadly I didn’t make the
team. But after looking at who did I felt better because thier work is amazing!

Still I wanted to share this altered frame that I made using
mainly the Christmas Cheer Collection because I'm pretty proud of it.

I made the poinsettias with the B sides from the Apple Cider & Christmas Cottage Collection and my Tim Holtz Dies.

I wanted to add a bit more texture to the frame so I added
this ruffled ribbon held in place with some brads.

For my final touches I added some bling to my little Rudolph.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope you liked the frame,
Make sure you hope over to see the amazing new team at Imaginisce.

It’s hard to believe that this picture was taken little more
than a year ago. It’s crazy how fast my baby is growing, but Peyton is still loves
to be cuddled so I will count my blessings and savor every moment

But I will never forget how amazing it was to hold such a beautiful
tiny little baby for hours on end.

Scrappers naturally love envelopes, they
are plentiful, inexpensive and come in such a great variety of sizes shapes and
colors, that the possibilities to transform them from their original purpose
are endless. I used four letter envelopes to make my pocket pages for my mini
album. Each page has three pockets!! This was a great way to save a buck!
